I stopped,looked around turned to look again. Nope not 10.00,clearly the tag states 1.00. I pretended to be looking at books and thought why is this sitting here,how can they be shopping for clothes! This Wonderful Shabby Chic lamp is marked 1.00! So I continued to pretend to look around.

Then I firmly grabbed it,I was not letting go! I asked if I could plug it in...she pointed to the plug.

Click,Click,Click.....yep working...still no crowd.

I was starting to perspire as I was checking out...maybe I was wrong! She asked "what is on the tag",I swallowed hard "1.00" she looked up,looked at tag. Hit a few buttons "1.07"! I handed her 2.00 and said lets just make it 2.00! It is for charity!

Again,a firm grasp on the lamp,looking right then left...I sprinted to the car! No... I danced to the car!

In fact there seems to be a consensus of opinion that the smaller party ,the more enjoyable the evening.

When I discovered the wonderful World of Blogs,the second blog I discovered was Dear Daisy Cottage.

Kim shares her beautiful 1922 Bungalow with us,while bringing a ray of Sunshine to our day!

Recently she shared an email from the husband of a member of her special blog family. He had lost his wife to cancer,and wanted to Thank Kim for all the joy her blog brought to his wife. As you can imagine a very touching letter!

Another member of this Dear blog family thought we should all send Jack a heart to help heal his heart.

While at my Favorite Thrift Store yesterday morning,I discovered this Heart and thought it was a great start! I promise to share my finished product!

Please Visit Kim at her great Blog,she is currently having a Valentines Giveaway,partially Sponsored by Ruby Beets aka: Me. While there click on the box marked Hearts for Jack,and read this special Story!
